My ISP don't allow servers by default but it is said in the Terms of Service that they will judge on a case by case basis and you can contact them to get a permission.

In fact, the link is :
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-software-for-fr eedom.html?op=redirect&url=http://goat.cx/
It can't link to goatse.cx since it ends by http://goat.cx/ (no se).
Mozilla go directly to the FSF page and don't care for the extra bit.
The link is stupid but not harmful but I support the motion to mod down.
Maybe it will inspire law makers also. They will at least have a clue what they are aiming at and what they should requiere from company that makes such annoying softwares.
Do you really choose to let a program show you those ads ? You probably just chose to have your computer clock on time and got the advertising bundled with.
They clearly state in the EULA that if you don't agree with it THEY refuse to sell it to you and you MUST return it where you bought it for a full refund.
Then those who sold it to you must ask for a refund from Microsoft. They never gave any.
But the reseller agree with the EULA or else would not be able to sell you this software.
There is a legal action you can use in case they don't want. You know the one without lawyers for small cases (no idea how it is called in english, sorry. It's "petites créances" in french). You are almost sure to win.
The reseller must then sue Microsoft to get the money back. I don't think any tried that.
You broke the hardware, it's your fault, pay.
For the software, you got a license to run it, you should be able to run it as long as you want and be able to install it on every new computer that you buy without having to pay again.
Okay, I'll be more clear.
The hole exist since 1996. They got 8 years to patch it. I doubt that the Linux communauty would have missed a vulnerability for 8 years.
When it was finally known, it took 18 days before the exploit was created.
Isn't that more than enough for correcting the problem ?
Without forgetting that the article said that Sasser is the exploit that took the less time to infect a machine after the vulnerability has been know : 18 days.
Previous record, Blaster : 25 days.
This is more than enough for a vulnerability to be patched on Linux.
And how do you stop co-workers from sending giving your e-mail address to spammers by sending you "virtual postcards" ?
It's as hard as stopping them from opening every attachement they receive.
Even more to post this as an Anonymous Coward, isn't it ?
The article say that EU do this, if US also do it and someone say it, it is informative. If US don't do it then it's bullshit but not because US was mentionned in the post.
I'm satisfied with Fedora Core 1. It's pretty easy to install and manage.
But if you can wait one or two weeks, Fedora Core 2 Final will be available. They are making the last tests on it.
For updates, there is blue circle that is checked in the bottom right corner when no update is available and it turns to a red one with a ! when updates are suggested.
You can install rpm just by clicking double-clicking on them (every newbie know how to do that) but you can also use Yum, it will download applications from the net and resolve dependencies.
To install FireFox for exemple the command is :
yum install firefox
No need to "sync" or similar, it is done automatically. yum is the only command I suggest teaching to a newbie when installing the distro and it's easy to use.
McDonald do close to that everyday here. (Quebec / Canada).
If you ask for a Pepsi, they won't say they don't have it, they will just fill your glass with Coke and give it to you as if it was Pepsi. Since there is no label, not every customer realized he has been fooled.
I don't understand however why they don't have both.
Mine. Since more people are on the Windows platform first.
And if I moved back to windows, I'd miss things. No "killer app" but a lot of convenient things.
Plus the pain to try to protect my computer against worms, virus and all that. Even if all my applications got ported to Windows, I don't see anything that would incite me to go back.
Slashdot Mirror
What about ripping the tracks and making unlimited copies after ?
Not since USA PAT RIOT act.
Indeed and they got XP by killing things.

DMCA don't need someone to claim losses.
Huh ? What are you talking about ? I live in Canada and you can buy beer at gas stations.
It's requieres the ability to *read*. Fedora have such a clear installer and great help in the left pane that it's a breeze to install.
Windows Installer is not so bad either. Less pretty, less help but it's easy to install Windows.
Unfortunately, many users just click on whatever popup on their screen without even reading it. It's not a lack of technical knowledge.
> Yes. That damn apt-get upgrade is too hard to type!!!!! And on Fedora : yum update

I learned that on Groklaw (or a linked article). It's amazing what you can learn there.
Anyway, does it really surprise you that it is and old WinNT security hole ?
You still use Outlook, don't be surprised that you get viruses.

If ghosts general are smart they will tell their ghosts to run away.

Then SCO would not even need Microsoft's money to sue IBM...
